I'm a bit surprised at Nenshi here. Generally he makes very smart statements and will show very strong understanding of whatever topic he's trying to talk about.

But this is just absolutely crazy. Doesn't understand how his own policies have created a housing shortage (I agree with those policies - I'm a latte-sipper). Doesn't understand a market economy.

And he also admits that he's a horrible businessman with no understanding of costs and markets.

He's built an insane level of political good will with me that he can spend on garbage statements like this, but it still makes me think twice.
